I've just started reading The Wager. I'm a sucker for ship based media, and I'm hoping this'll be no exception.

It's my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

Check out Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It's the story of Shackletons failed antarctic voyage and how he survived. Absolutely amazing story and really well written.

Not entirely related but I've read some books on the Franklin expedition and found them fascinating so I'll definitely take a look.

Have you read, Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson? The book is science fiction, but covers Shackleton's story as a motif.
